Heavy Hitters (Leon)

[Mathew Amtrum]

For the most part things had been very dull in the correctional facility since the 100 man fight. He learned later that it was 100 men that him and Emily had been forced to fight, a fight they were not intended to win. It must have come as a real surprise when they did win the fight, though it took a heavy toll on both him and Emily. Thankfully there was no permanent damage done to either of them and Mathew was feeling better then ever.

Still things had not been a total loss. While he was seperated from Leon he had learned where Leon spent a good amount of his time. Apparently there was a gravity room in this facility. A room that could simulate diffrent gravities for training. It was an interesting idea, one that Mathew figured he had to try out. He wasn't sure what was good for a first time go. X2 would probably be more then fine but he wanted to try and push his limits without crushing himself. So he would double that again setting it to x4 Earth's normal Gravity which would bring Mathew's weight to an astonishing 740 pounds.

When Mathew stepped in to the room he immediatly staggered in feeling the weight hit him like a ton of bricks. He was not expecting that and had to lean against a wall to recover. Even the simple act of lifting his arm was more effort then he thought it would be. Not impossible but it felt like he was lifting weights. It was certainly a unique experience. At once he was thankful for the fact that he was just wearing a light shirt and pants while going barefoot. That and his new arm guards of course. He wanted to get used to those ASAP.

In this new environment he could see how it was good training, just standing was like holding weights. Every movment he made would be training. But that wasn't enough for Mathew. With a loud strained grunt he would move away from the wall and slowly start to do squats. Once again it was doable for him but it felt like he was doing this with a fat man on his back.

This was unusual. Being escorted to the gravity room, someone was already there. The light was on indicating someone there. Leon went to the touchscreen and turned it on, to see the settings and who was in it. A grin crossed his face when he saw Mathew doing squates at 4X earth's gravity. He'd hit a few buttons to turn off the gravity, until the door closed, and stepped in. It hummed back on, and Leon stood there, seeming uneffected by it.

"Like it?"

Leon walked with hard stepps to close a bit of the gap between himself and Mathew. Wearing his tribal unifrom, the black vest with orange trim, white baggy chinese pants, tied traditionally with a teal belt and sock ties, along with black laceless shoes. Every scar on his body bare to view.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Sweat was already covering his body by the time Leon joined him. His body suddenly shot up as he did his squats when the gravity was turned back to normal as Leon walked in to the room. It was unexpected and the sudden change of gravity almost caused him to drop to the ground. Moving his arm up to his forehead he would wipe away the curtain of sweat that was dripping down his face from the effort. His muscles were already burning and he felt weaker and sluggish from the effort of moving. But when this was over he would be stronger for it. This was a workout like any other, well maybe not like any other but it would have the same results.

Still seeing his old friend did bring a genuine grin to his face. They were old friends, friends enough that they could be on opposite sides of a conflict. They were warriors pure and simple. There was something to be said for the relationship they had as dragons. At least in Mathew's eyes. He didn't wish Leon any ill but he wouldn't hesitate to destroy him if he had too, he was sure Leon felt the same way. It was just the way things were with those that were powerful back in 552. It was the way of the world.

"It's alright I guess. It will take some getting used too, but I think I will like it a lot." He would say honestly. Though that was one thing you could always count on with Mathew, honesty. Every word he said was true but he liked to twist the truth. It was part of his own personal honor code. He wouldn't lie but he could deceive people.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon clenched his fist infront of him feeling the air, seeing what it was like at 4X gravity. He hadn't felt it in a while, he had trained at 5 for so long, this was only this much lighter, but it did feel different, like the first time he trained at 2X gravity.

"Wanna see what we can do?"

It was true, the way of things in the old days was all for one and none for all. Leon himself would go through anyone if they got in his way. Wife, kids, didn't matter his relationship with them, they interfiered, they where destroyed. But this challange was simply a spar, see how far they could play in this gravity. For many months, before his first escape, durring his escape, and a few days now he had been gravity training, he was slightly more used to it. Thats where Leon got his speed, and power, from training in here.

[Mathew Amtrum]

A spar? In 4X gravity? It was an interesting idea. One that was a bit exciting. He felt his heart pumping in excitement at the thought of it. HE wasn't sure how long he could last fighting in this environment, not long he was sure, but it would be fun to say the least. And it would certainly be good for him. Add in the drugs that Sean gave them to heal them and there was no downside. Not even injury. He would slowly clench his fist feeling the effort it took to do that before nodding. He was up for a spar. He was up for seeing how well he could handle gravity and Leon together. Though he figured he had this fight lost already just because Leon had the turf advantage if nothing else. Not to mention his Qi. Still, losing wasn't a big deal if one knew they were going to lose right?

"Alright lets do it."

He would say as he took a few steps back to build a bit of distance between them. He knew Leon was going to make the first move like always. But that worked for him, Mathew was more of a reactive fighter anyways. Though he was an aggressive one too. He would see how this went though.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon smirked when Mathew backed away. he noted the gleam of sweat, this was really only gonna be a spar. He was hoping he would of caught Mathe won a ood day, he needed someone strong to fight. Leons mind was only thinking about power, becoming greater, stronger, faster. He had to. But then, a thought crossed his mind, one that hadn't crossed his mind in a logn time. Mathew didn't make a move after declairing that the spar was on. In fact it was rare when he saw him do it.

'If 552 is supposed to be the most violant school in New York, why are all of its fighters defence based?'

Leon simply fidgeted, sliding so his right side faced Mathew, before he charged, retaining some nice speed. His arms where pulled in tight, forearms protecting his front as he hunched into them. He'd come in and start off with a small uppercut with his left fist, dipping it quickly, and not low at all, to hit Mathew in the chest, his right tilting sideways to make up for what his left would of been guarding.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew's body wasn't used to this and he was already feeling the effects before the fight began. But no guts no glory. He wasn't going to back down until he had too. His eyes watched Leon catching his slower then normal movements and he would grin. This was going to be Pathetically easy. The plan would be to grab Leon's arm as it was coming at him for the upper cut. He would then shift his body to the side to dodge the other punch heading his way. It would be easy.

Well it would have been easy if his body moved how he wanted it too. Instead he found his arms moving slower then he wanted too and both hits would land against Mathew causing him to grunt in pain. He was tired just from standing around and doing squats so he wasn't going to be up to his usual punishment here. He had to remember that he couldn't move as fast as he could normally move now. So just cause he could read a move didn't mean shit to him. Still he wasn't going to just stand there and take it up the ass. It was time for plan B.

Mathew's knee would shoot up as fast as he could make it, the effort of it causing him to grunt out as his muscles moved but with luck it would slam in to Leon's gut with a reasonable amount of force. On the plus side this fight would probably stay on the ground since he wasn't sure how good of an idea jumping in 4X gravity was.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon noticed Mathews mistake, and tilted into the punches as the knee came in, spinning the knee off the side of his body, as he'd fall hard, his right hand would catch himself, sparks flying from his arm so he had extra strength to hold himself up, his leg would come around to sweet Mathews feet from under him. Drop him to the ground at 4X gravity.

Leon would bend his arm and roll back to get to his feet, if the sweep worked or not. He'd stand there, and wait for Mathew to get up. This was a spar, not a fight, so Leon had no reason to take advantage if it worked. Besides, he still did fall into that knee, and his breathing had slightly been effected by it. He could feel the vibration of his lungs from the impact.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Sadly Mathew's attack had been ineffective while Leon's was very effective. The blow itself was nothing but landing on his back at 4X gravity was painful indeed. He would find himself dazed at first, the wind knocked right out of his body. Slowly he would pick himself up his body straining with effort as he fought the gravity in this room. It was hard and his body was already crying out for him to stop unused to such treatment and conditions. It was sheer will that picked him up, his breathing already heavy. The thought occurred to him that it was probably stupid of him to agree to fight in these conditions since it was still his first time. But he couldn't really back down now could he?

Once Mathew was up he would launch himself at Leon this time taking the more aggressive path in the fight. He had already lost it that was clear, he couldn't hold it up in this kind of environment yet, but he was going to at least hit Leon before this was over. That was his promise to himself.

Mathew's fist was clenched tightly, his knuckles white from the effort and he would send it flying at Leon's chest. Should the blow land he would once again attempt to knee the blond boy in the gut hoping to knock him to the ground this time. Should that happen Mathew's first instinct would be to stomp and he would raise his leg to do just that. The result would be a powerful stomp at 4X gravity, that is if he hadn't stopped himself by reminding himself that this was just a spar. They were not aiming to hurt just to test. So he would instead slowly lower his foot and let Leon raise up, again should Leon fall from his attack that is.

[Mr. Kaar]

The first time Leon was expiramented on in this facility he was in a coma and they used the gravity room to attempt to capture him. It almost worked if it wheren't for his new found Qi. Then the concept of using the Gravity as a training source hit him. So when he started working for Asiv his only reason was because they shared technology meaning gravity training was at his full disposel, starting at 2X gravity and working all the way to 5. Now 7X Gravity was his new training max. This simple fact was what gave him the egde in this kind of enviornment, which he was getting used to being so light in normal gravity for his Lightning Strike Veriation of Riryukoshin, his self made fighting style.

The rest of that story another time, Mathew got up, and lunged forward with a punch for his chest, Leon's eyes had noted the white knuckles from making a fist, which was a sign of a punch, this being one of the things Leon had become accustom to as well, catching small signs, but in here every small hint at what your going to do is magnified by the effort in which it demands. Leon simply raised his arms like he where going to be in a seriouse fight against the most extreme opponent, and the punch would hit him squarely in the chest, a good blow, as was the knee, now here was the hard part. Kinda.

Leon's arms both would hook under the knee and lift with Mathews force (assuming its your right knee), Leon's right leg would step inward on the inside of Mathews left foot, hooking behind the ankle as he would lift and push to pick up, drop, and trip Mathew so he once again fell on his back. Lifting the knee apon impact would lessen the blow so it would slide off the body instead of a solid strike, though it would still hurt like a bitch, obviousely from the bruises forming on his chest and stomach, but his body was so battered from constent battle, it would take more, even in this gravity to make him fall.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew felt Leon hook under his legs and there was little he could do to stop his fate of ending up on his back once again, just like a fucking turtle. What he could do was lift his other leg up as he fell backwards through the air. With a loud grunt of effort Mathew would attempt to slam the side of his foot in to the side of Leon's face. IT wouldn't be the most effective move in the world. But until he got used to the gravity nothing was the most effective thing in the world to him. Hell walking wasn't even that effective to him!

The only thing he could do was try and do what he could as he grunted in pain from yet another hard impact. His body weighing 4 times as much slamming in to the hard ground was quite a blow. The world was spinning slightly from the impact since the back of his head slammed against the floor. HE didn't have time to wait it off though. And once again slowly Mathew would try and pick himself up, assuming Leon didn't try and attack him while he was down.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon needed a breather slightly, he had taken a few blows to the gut, and it was obviouse from his open vest, as bruises had been forming, he hunched over slightly from lifting someone up in a weight such as this. He was sweating and in pain. This sar was pretty much over. So Leon was gonna call it off. No heart disease it was just a really good spar. Actually now that he thought about it... This drugs that healed their wounds... He hasn't been afflicted by his heart since the first time he was here.

"Alright, what do you say we call this one? Good spar."

Leon said. He wasn't into hurting someone powerful in a place like this. The strong need to stay strong for when the opertunity presents its self. Weither it be escape or combat with your life on the line.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew's breathing was heavy and he was actually happy to hear that Leon was done too. He could keep going but if they did it would be very likely that one of them would get really hurt. After all falling down in this place hurt bad. Add in fighting, even if it was all friendly and you had a good chance at breaking bones.

Nodding as he allowed himself to catch his breath he would signal that he was fine with stopping. HE was tired and what he wanted to do now was go sit down somewhere with normal gravity. It didn't seem he would have that chance though. Moments later he felt the gravity of the room return to normal as two enforcers walked in.

"Mathew come with me, Sean has someone he wants you to test." One of them would say motioning for Mathew to follow him, which he would of course giving Leon a small nod before leaving. The second guy would shoot Leon with his Tranquilizer gun to sedate the young blond who was less willing to cooperate then Mathew was. He would wait until the sedatives were surely in effect before he approached Leon snapping on a small metal collar to the boy's neck before turning to leave him there for when he woke up.

OOC: The collar will suppress Leon's Qi by two levels while it is on. When Taken off his Qi will revert back to normal and the backlash of the stored up energy will increase the effects of his Qi by double their normal amount for 2 posts. This will cause minor damage to Leon as well. In addition to suppressing his Qi the Collar will have a calming effect on Leon due to the electronics installed inside which will regulate the electricity coursing through his body to help reduce aggression.
